| SIC tibi florentes aequaeuo germine nati | |
| indolis aetheriae sidera celsa petant, | |
| sic priscos uincant atauos clarosque parentis | |
| exsuperent meritis saeclaque longa gerant, | |
| sic subolis numerum transcendat turba nepotum | 5 |
| nobilibusque iuges gaudia tanta toris: | |
| ne sterilem praestes indigno munere Musam, | |
| utque soles, largus carmina nostra foue, | |
| imperiis ut nostra tuis seruire Thalia | |
| possit et in melius personet icta chelys. | 10 |
